Tiger 3 (UAE cinemas): Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has the perfect Diwali gift for his legion of devoted fans. He returns as the fierce RAW agent Avinash Singh Rathore, aka Tiger on the field in the third instalment of this hit spy series. Also starring Katrina Kaif as Zoya Humaimi, an ex-ISI agent from Pakistan, the third chapter is likely to bump up the stakes. Filled with spectacular action sequences, songs, and drama, ‘Tiger 3’ aims to entertain. It’s also high on star power. Actor Emraan Hashmi will be playing the antagonist and we can’t wait to see him kill it in the negative role. If previous instalments saw Tiger fighting off wolves in the snow, the new chapter is likely to amp up the action. So here’s your chance to see some serious star power roar to life in ‘Tiger 3’, directed by Maneesh Sharma. The movie releases in the UAE theatres on November 11 and the first show is after 6pm.

Japan (UAE cinemas): Tamil actor Karthi plays an outlandish crime boss in this Tamil-language action adventure, directed by Rajumurugan.

Commit to this one if you are in the mood for some loud, bombastic masala film. Image Credit: IMDB

Fresh off the boat (Disney+): This star-studded sitcom, starring Constance Wu and Randall Park, follows an immigrant Taiwanese family as it comes to grips with living a new life in the US, with its social, cultural and economic implications. Based on the book by Eddie Huang, it is, on the whole, a realistic representation of Asians in mainstream media. There are stereotypes, but more in the nature of a satire. Only six seasons long, this show is perfect to curl up with on a relaxing weekend. Image Credit: AP

Koffee With Karan (Disney+): The third episode featuring rising stars Sara Ali Khan and Ananya Panday has the word fun, frivolous, and zany all over it. After a rather staid second episode featuring the sibling duo Sunny and Bobby Deol, this one has relatively more zing. Both Sara and Ananya are young, bold, and fabulous. Their vapid and funny responses to the catty show host’s questions makes it a fun watch. Make sure to enjoy the bits where they speak about their personal lives in riddles. It's also your chance to see Ananya let us in on a secret about a certain 'Aashiqui 2' star. Image Credit: Instagram / Sara Ali Khan
